Limitations and assumptions

The built-in content is a small reference summary. It does not establish current tax liability, eligibility, or filing requirements, and its reference entry names sources rather than fetching them. No secret model weights, audit probability or evasion recipe fabricated; a score alone is not evidence of wrongdoing.

Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types, and violated calculation rules are input issues. Extremely large text is rejected. Extremely large composite outputs are rejected.

This lookup returns a verified notice without assuming a universal three-year window. For a complementary step, use AMT Preference Items Addback Checklist: An AMT review needs an established regime, classified preference items, documented differences, and reviewed exclusions. This checklist records witnessed, missing, and unknown evidence separately.
